+                     Special Notes on Linux
+1) The epics makefiles use GNU make which is the make that comes
+   with Linux.  You need to make a link from make to gnumake and
+   have it in your path.  After you have defined the EPICS environement
+   variable, you can use:
+
+   ln -s /usr/bin/make $EPICS/base/tools/gnumake
+
+2) At this point, support for Linux only involves channel access
+   clients.  Since Vxworks is not available for Linux, you must
+   use other platforms for developing server side code.  As for
+   building databases with dct and gdct, this requires that the 
+   $EPICS/base/tools/makesdr script works properly. Since makesdr
+   is slated to be removed from the EPICS distribution in a future
+   release, we didn't feel it was important to include this capability
+   now.  Consequently, when you run make you will receive the error
+
+   gnumake[4]: *** [bldDefaultSdr] Error 127
+
+   and
+
+   gnumake[3]: *** [comsubs.o] Error 1

+3) You MUST start caRepeater by hand before running a client.
